What an interesting comment, rinntin. I am from Canada and am an Anglophone, but I now live and work in Norway. Within 3 months of me moving there and learning Norwegian, I, my Chilean colleague and my Romanian colleague were having good conversations in Norwegian, it is so simple to learn. I hearby nominate Norwegian as that any other language you mentioned.

So what constitutes a bullshit language? Esperanto has none of the crazy, erratic inconsistencies of other languages. It is FAR easier to learn and as a common NEUTRAL language, it works time and time again to link people who speak different languages. After just 3 months of study, people from China, Greece, Romania and Spain can have a good conversation. Try THAT with any other language!

Esperanto, being a product of its time, does have a sexist element in that the feminine is created from the masculine by the addition of the suffix "in". Viro - man, virino - woman. We have the same thing in sexist English: hero - heroine but with the great inconsistencies of English: Lion - lionESS, not lionINE! Nuts. Spanish has worse sexism: ELLAS, if all in a room are women, ELLOS, if just ONE man enters the room.

WIKIPEDIA TOLD ME ESPERANTO IS SEXIST SO IT MUST BE TRUE

All-caps makes my statement more correct. That's a fact; live with it.

"the changing of the masculine definite article in the accusative case", wtf? You're talking about Esperanto, not German.

And Esperanto vocabulary does evolve.
